"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

The National Quiet Skies Coalition supports communities across the United States whose citizens have been adversely impacted by the Federal Aviation Administration's NextGen program. The NQSC's mission is to help educate the American public on the hazards of aircraft noise and air pollution, share relevant information among concerned citizens, support the efforts of the congressional Quiet Skies Caucus and petition the FAA and Congress to adopt common sense solutions for mitigating jet aircraft noise and pollution over America's cities and towns.

"Like frogs in boiling water, we're supposed to be used to it. It's also obvious that any human consequences were left out of this completely logistical and engineering-driven initiative. People are collateral damage. It's the economy and the airline industry that matter. We didn't get a seat at the table. Not during the process and not now." -- Brooklyn, NY resident (via Prospect Park Quiet Skies)
